@@cosmicnick4186 oh boy, you might not want to get into that rabbit hole. 7th generation consoles are known for being faulty, basically the main chips on both the 360 and ps3 (gpu and CPU) are very faulty, the ps3s rsx (gpu) on this early model is especially faulty, pretty much all ylods are caused by it, at some point they'll all fail, quite early I'm afraid but you can slow that down by keeping temps very low, below 65c if possible, changing the thermal paste on top of the ihs is pretty good, but usually not enough unfortunately, you might need to remove the ihs (delid) on both the rsx and the cell, it's a risky process but imo necessary, search it up on UA-cam Check the temps by jailbreaking the system and installing webman
@@cosmicnick4186you take the heat spreader that’s on top of the chips and put thermal paste directly on the cell and rsx. You can watch guides on how to do it
The disc drives on the OG xbox's are easy fix just replace the belt
yup, you’re right on the money - I’ll be taking a look at it in my upcoming video 🤙
Τhat backwards compatible ps3 makes the whole lot worth it
Yeah, I was so excited when I found out it was a fully backwards compatible model
@@cosmicnick4186 make sure to change it's thermal paste and delid if necessary, it's a ticking time bomb
@@steliosemmanouilidis5050 yep, I’ll definitely be replacing the thermal paste. What does delid mean though?

I would frankie that a01 the rsx will fail soon enough
Yea, it probably will. Do you have any tips about what I could do?
